TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE AMERICAN TEAMS ALL RAINED OUT; Cardinals Maul 15 -Year-Old Clncy Hurler; Pirates Victors. New York, June 10 U.W American league teams, all ap parently trying to live on the same percentage point, provided a mathematical housing problem today, with the front-running St. Louis Browns a bare four and a half games ahead of the last place Philadelphia Athletics. With all games In the league rained out, the accountants called for a quick audit of the standings, which revealed the following: 1. That the leading Browns with their .551 percentage achieved in winning 27 games and losing 22 would be no bet ter than fourth in the current National league standings. 2. The Athletics, In eighth with a .455 mark established on 20 victories and 24 losses, would be no worse than sixth if suddenly transplanted into the senior circuit. 3. Only 96 points separate the top and bottom clubs whereas, in the National an even 300 points are between the first place St. Louis Cardinals and last place Chicago Cubs, who have a 12V4-game spread. Even more remarkable Is the fact that at no time since the season began nearly two months ago have the top and bottom teams been separated by more than seven and a half games. The St. Louis Cards mauled the Cincinnati Reds 18 to 0 for the most one-sided shutout In the National league since 1906 when the Cubs beat the Giants 19 to 0. Backing Morton Cooper's five hit pitching with a 21-hlt attack, the Cards equalled a major league record by stranding 18 men on base. The game marked the first appearance of 15-year-old Joe Nuxhall, youngest player ever to go into a major league lineup. Hit appearance was Inauspi cious, however, with -the entire Cardinal lineup facing him In two-thirds of an inning, during ' which he walked five men and allowed two hits. It was Cooper's fifth victory and his third in a row. In the only other major league game, Pittsburgh strengthened its hold on second place by beat ing the visiting Cubs 9 to 4 with a 16-hit attack. Frank Zak led the batting with four hits. Elwin (Preacher) Roe, who pitched the last three Innings, was credited with the victory.

Illinois plied 79 points to cap ture the twenty-third running of the historic track and field carnival, taking over the crown that Southern California held for nine straight years only to forego its defense of the title this year because of travel re strictions. The Illlnl triumph returned the NCAA crown to the mid west for the first time since Indiana won In 1032. The much-publicized attempt of the stubby Mr. Young, negro freshman sensation, to become the first man to win four NCAA events since Jesse Owens did it in 1936 failed in two respects: (1) Young was defeated in the broad Jump by Ralph Tyler of Ohio State, who leaped 23 feet 4VS inches, and (2) Young scratched in the low hurdles when it was obvious that Illi nois would win anyway. Nevertheless the Mr. Five by Five from Chicago piled up 28 of Illinois' 79 points taking firsts in the 100-yard and 220-yard dash and second in the broad Jump, based on the NCAA scor ing of 10 points for first place and eight for second. In addi tion, he led Conwcll to the tape by 10 yards in the 220 dash. Runner-up to Illinois was Notre Dame, with a 19-man squad that spread its overall strength to 43 points. . Michigan, largely upon the work of its famous Hume twins, finished third with 40 points. OVERTJE IIS San Francisco, June 10 (U.R) The Sacramento Solons, cellar champions of the Pacific Coast league to date, turned on the heat against San Francisco in a 14-lnning battle today to take a 3-2 decision and make up for last' night's loss In a 12-innlng contest. Pitcher Tom Seats of the Seals and Sacramento's Gene Babbitt turned In 11-hit mound Jobs but Bill Ramsey, who broke a bat ting slump, hit three for seven to drive in all the Solon runs for the win.

Hollywood, June 10 (U.R) A plnch-hlttcr, Mory Abbott, to day blasted a long homo run over the left field wall In the tenth frame to give the San Diego Padres a 4-1 victory over the Hollywood Stars at Gilmore field. Until Abbott's circuit blow, the game was a tight pitcher's battle between southpaws Jim Brettheart of San Diego and Jim Sharp of Hollywood.

TODAY MEDFORD CRATERS SCU STATION HOSPITAL FAIRGROUNDS PARK Admission 50c including tax Soldiers FREE SUNDAY, JUNE 11 THIS WEEK COLLEGE Faculty and Coaches Due to Clash Over Policy At Hood River Meet. Portland, Ore., June 10 (U.R) The once-powerful Pacific Coast Intercollegiate conference ham strung for the duration by can cellation of most sports will have a showdown on future poli cy next week when the faculty representatives, graduate man agers and remaining coaches go into spring session at Hood Riv er. Ore. A realistic battle Is brewing, however, between the graduate managers long Irked at playing second fiddle and the faculty representatives. The latter have traditionally held the upper hand .while the boys who make the schedules and count the box of fice receipts feel they should have more say-so on policy. Aside from such an internal explosion, the remainder of the three-day session isn't apt to loosen the shingles of the Co lumbia Gorge hotel, resort spot chosen for the gathering. Some of the coaches are gone for the duration, only Washington has a football team in the northern di vision, the armed services keep making Inroads among the male students, and high paying de fense Jobs lure the lads who oth erwise might be earning a letter man's sweater. Tentative possibilities are drafting of a skeleton football schedule, with athletic heads of army camps anxious to book competition, resuming basketball series in each division, playing of baseball, and perhaps resched uling of division track meets. Most directors feel college ath letics are due for a boom, after the war so post war problems may get an airing, particularly eligibility of men who have com peted on armed services teams or in military college programs. Schools to.be represented are the University of Washington. Washington State college, Uni versity of Oregon, Oregon State college, University of California, University of Southern Califor nia, Stanford university, Univer sity of California at Los Angeles, University of Idaho and Univer sity of Montana. The meeting opens Monday morning , and should close Wednesday. ANN ClflSlETS Oakland. Cal..
